Theatre Hullabaloo believe that going to the theatre for the first time is an important thing to do and should be part of everyone's childhood. To support this belief, we launched our Theatre Firsts Campaign in 2013 to help celebrate both children's first theatre experiences and adults first memories of going to the theatre.

Luna is an enchanting new theatre experience about friendship, the moon and being brave in the dark for 2 to 5 year olds and their families to enjoy.
Presented by Theatre Hullabaloo and Theatr Iolo, the show has been devised and directed by Sarah Argent from an original idea by Miranda Thain.
It is the story of a little boy called Billy who is afraid of the dark and the shadows which move like monsters on his bedroom walls. Luna lives up in the sky and although she is surrounded by stars, she often gets bored as there is no one else like her to play with.
One night, a she's racing amongst the stars, she spots Billy with his faithful friend Pig, hiding from the scary shadows in his room. Luna decides to make friends with the boy and together they go on an adventure of Light and Dark which helps Billy overcome his fears of the night-time.

Have you ever done things your parents told you not to do? Have you swallowed the pips of an apple and waited for a tree to grow in your belly? Have you made a face when the wind changed? Or turned your back on the sea?
In Bobby Rogers town everyone lives very normal lives. But Bobby has noticed that a child who was there one minute is gone the next. Disappeared. So he digs a hole through the earth, All the way to kangaroos and upsidedowness, And he may have stayed forever there, But vanishing kids does not seem fair, And there is nothing so fun as a grudge to bear, So one day Bobby Rogers returns to Upper Crumble to settle the score...
Told in an operatic, gothic style My Mother Told Me Not To Stare is about the disappeared, those kids who did something naughty and got sent to The Fixing Kitchen, a place from which they never returned.
